I don't have any experience with this, but I would think that if you
drilled a hole in a sealed fitting that the metal fragments that would
remain in the fitting, regardless of how well you might be able to clean
it out (and I don't really see how you could clean it out) would cause
more wear than would be prevented by being able to add grease.
